Biggest Pet Peeve

[evansvillethompsongunner]

I hate these same people even more when they actually do try to speak proper English. They really don't remember how, that is, if they were ever taught.



I think a distracted driving law ought to be passed. My girlfriend TEXTS in the car. I've informed here that she will put it away or I will not share the car with her.

No, a law should NOT be passed. People should just have the (un-)common sense not to chat on a phone while they're operating a thousand pound piece of aluminum - or, in my case, a two thousand pound piece of steel.

My pet peeve?

People who use the phrase 'grammar Nazi.'

I HAVEN'T KILLED TWELVE MILLION PEOPLE, I JUST WANT YOU TO HAVE MASTERED YOUR GODDAMNED NATIVE TONGUE. THIS IS NOT - NOR SHOULD IT BE - A HEFTY REQUIREMENT.

Seriously, there have been times when I've felt like seriously jack-slapping some people for usage of the phrase. To date, I have not: invaded Poland; killed twelve million people; invented the Volkswagen; bombed England; invaded Czechoslovakia; performed gruesome medical experiments on twins or "sub-humans"; kept millions of people in concentration camps.

Mastering one's native tongue is not too much for which to ask.

Learn English - and that applies to not only immigrants, but native citizens as well.
"Ebonics" is NOT a language and if one insists on speaking it, I must then insist that one ships oneself back to the hinterlands, as that disgusting bastardized is neither wanted nor tolerable.

Speak the King's or GTGDFO.

In my line of work, I hate receiving calls where the first thing out of their mouths is, "I don't know anything about computers."

I know already.

I say that a lot....

 

[bigg cheese]

I don't mind helping, and actually I'm the one of two guys in my area that they actually ask for -- there's just no need to state the obvious

 

[FordMan08]

I hate when people open their cars door and ding your door and then act like nothing ever happened.

Tell us how you really feel.

Honestly though, does it really matter how someone writes a post? Not everyone feels like proof reading what they wrote everytime they feel like commenting on a post. I definitely agree with you to an extent, but simple grammatical errors don't bother me...LOL speak, writing to sound stupid and wall-of-text do though.



I also hate vandals.

 

[Cemetery-man]

Forum members that always say they respect your opinion. But, only as long as it agrees with theirs.

 

[JBusch8899]

To all left lane roosters:

Lead, follow, or

GET THE **** OUT OF THE WAY!!!

 

[JBusch8899]

My second pet peeve:

While everyone should endeavor to speak the English language properly, "Journalist" that have attended institutions of higher education, not to mention ivy league schools, but insist upon their utilization of poor grammar, poor sentence structure, and poor grammatical phrases.

Such infractions as using the phrase, "Whether or not.......", ending sentences with a preposition, interjecting dangling participles, and incorrectly transposing the words: Your and you're; their and there; its and it's; affect and effect.

 

[lyric911]

Drivers that hog the left (fast) lane on the Interstate.

If you are not willing to exceed the speed limit by six mph, then

Pick up the pace or MOVE OVER........

Anybody got others.....

I care not the speed somebody is going in the left lane, as long as they are passing someone else. It's not the fast lane, it's the passing lane. If you're in the left lane for no reason regardless of speed is when I get annoyed.

If I'm within a mile or two of my left turn, I'll ride that lane until I get there so I don't have to fight to change lanes and possibly miss my turn because someone does not recognize that a left blinker means "gotta go that way".
So, I've probably annoyed you.
You're welcome.

How about another driving-related pet peeve?

SPEEDING POLICE OFFICERS.

I'm sorry, Mister, but going 75 on 465 just because you can... That ain't cool.

Or going 55+ on US 31 down towards Greenwood? That ain't cool, either.

Especially when you're wearing your civvies and have your wife/kids in the car.

Not cool at all.

I usually grab the car number and make a phone call when I get where I'm going. It doesn't bother me at all that they have a take-home car. However, driving it even while off-duty represents your department, so at least try to put your best foot forward.

I agree 100%. If you have your wife and kids in the car, obviously your not on a hot pursuit. If IMPD would issue a statement to the public to report this, much as individuals report other individuals, this abuse would stop.

People who get right on your bumper and 65, in a 60 zone, pass you with the stare, and then exit a 1/2 mile later. Road rage, come forth and consume the piece of ...never mind. I hope you understand.

 

[JBusch8899]

I changed my mind.

TK421 is my biggest pet peeve now.

+1.......Another pet peeve would have to be people that loudly tap their foot or hand and do not realize their doing it for about 10 mins.

 

[S8MS-01904]

Boy, got some discussions going here now.

I'm not running "late", actually I leave ten minutes early every day.

As to staying in the left "passing" lane, I tend to be moving at a faster pace then most, so instead of looking like a lane jockey (going back and forth), I stay put.

As for go the speed limit and blend in with the crowd. My car is "short" and I like to "see" ahead of the traffic to prepare to change (defensive driving). Also, I dislike "playing" leapfrog with the same idiot drivers.

Plus, I like to be the controlling vehicle in a cross town drive.

NOTHING TO SEE HERE, NOW MOVE ALONG.......
